There’s some love in the air between Conor McGregor and the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

After “a very cordial and productive meeting” today between McGregor and NSAC chair Anthony Marnell, the commission announced Marnell and NSAC Executive Director Bob Bennett will recommend a re-hearing on McGregor’s press conference scuffle with Nate Diaz.

“Chairman Marnell agreed to place the request for rehearing on the agenda of the Commission’s March 22, 2017 meeting,” the statement read.

It’s one step toward McGregor’s stated aim of clearing the slate with the commission, which fined him $75,000 for throwing water bottles at Diaz and his teammates during a UFC 202 press conference and ordered him to fork over an additional $75,000 to fund an NSAC-branded public service announcement against bullying.

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) was contrite about his role in the fracas during a hearing on the matter. But after the commission dressed him down for his behavior – at one point contemplating a $300,000 fine – and then settled on half that amount, his remorse dimmed.

But McGregor’s approach seemed to shift in light of a potentially lucrative boxing match against retired champ Floyd Mayweather. He received a boxing license in California and said he would pursue one with the NSAC, which in turn said he could do so when he cleared up his pending legal review.

It appears the stage is set for McGregor to restate his case. Now, he just needs to clear another major hurdle: UFC President Dana White. The promoter has promised an “epic fall” should McGregor try to make the Mayweather fight without the UFC after he offered the pair $25 million and split pay-per-view proceeds. Today, White again denied a fight was in the works after a report from Ireland indicated that the boxer and MMA champ are coming closer to a deal, ESPN.com reported.

Per White, McGregor is on a 10-month leave of absence to welcome the birth of his first child, and then he’ll be back in the picture for the UFC.

Here is the NSAC’s full statement:

“Today, mixed martial artist Conor McGregor met with Nevada State Athletic Commission Chairman Anthony A. Marnell III and Executive Director Bob Bennett regarding a possible rehearing of McGregor’s prior order arising out of his conduct during a UFC 202 press conference on August 17, 2016. After a very cordial and productive meeting with McGregor, Chairman Marnell agreed to place the request for rehearing on the agenda of the Commission’s March 22, 2017 meeting. During the hearing on McGregor’s request, Chairman Marnell and Executive Director Bennett will recommend that the Commission grants a rehearing on the prior order.”
